Epic FAILS in Fashion

The Fashion Faux Pas thread is one of my favorite threads on Mallvibes so here are some of my favorite points taken from it (and also some of my own):

GIRLS WHO WEAR LEGGINGS AS PANTS. Cover your ass and crotch ladies… no one wants to see outlines unless you’re just ASKING for attention.

ED HARDY. I’m sorry but Ed Hardy is fucking ugly and makes you look like a try-hard.

Fake designer items— if you can’t afford it, don’t buy it.

TNA suits and Juicy velor suits. Unless you’re in high school, forget about it. I’m also getting sick of seeing Bebe suits all over the place; if you’re running to go grab something to eat from home, that’s fine (but still stretching it) but please don’t wear it to go shopping (or clubbing).

Yoga pants and stilettos. ROFL.

Colored leggings if you can’t pull them off. Some people look so damn good with colored leggings but the majority of the population (including myself) don’t.

Skinnies with Converse shoes… I’m sorry but I never understood that trend. I guess if it’s your style (eg. if you’re a skater and you look the part) then it’ll look “fine” on you but if an Asian-washed Asian girl like me wears it… lord help us all.

Colored leggings that doesn’t cover up important parts WITH Converse. Triple-slam.

Uggs with yoga pants. I use to be guilty of this while going to school especially on cold days because it was the ultimate comfort outfit but god, it looked horrible.

Of course, my number #1 is ALWAYS: skinny jeans on un-skinny or too-skinny people (or on guys).

I could go on, but let’s just leave it at that.

Of course, these are trends that I personally would never wear either because I think they’re hideous or that they will look triple-hideous on me … but that doesn’t mean they won’t look good on someone else. It just depends whether you can pull it off or not. ;)

I hate the TNA/Bebe/Juicy tracksuits with a passion. They’re not even that great for working out in. I mean, if you’re going to work out, do you really want everyone to see your fat jiggling in those? And do you really wanna sweat in a $500 tracksuit?
I don’t think so.

Personally, I love skinny & cigarette pants/trousers but the thing is, I get so self conscious, and I never end up wearing them. I’ll buy a new pair of skinnies and get really excited about them…but once I get home, I decide that I’m a bit too curvy to wear them out in public. -msigh- Confessions of an Ipulse shopper. I probably have around 6 new pairs of skinny jeans that I’ve only worn once.

Hey Katy, well I agree that you’re a Interior Designer and would have much more better knowledge regarding fashion than me but I think the girl in 1st picture with jeans on actually looks pretty cool. I am of the view that girls and boys both should not wear skin-tight suits because it’s uncomfortable and also sometimes get people into awkward situations.

The best for me would be Fake designer itemsâ€” if you canâ€™t afford it, donâ€™t buy it. Completely agree on that point. Fake designer wear are simply not gonna do anything. Anyone who wears original’s can spot a fake a mile away.

One of my friends pointed me out to your blog and I’ve got to say, That’s a disastrous list of fashion. Completely agree with girls wearing leggings as pants. Looks so weird and out of place if I may say. Good job with the blog.

“Fake designer itemsâ€” if you canâ€™t afford it, donâ€™t buy it” – That would be my favorite item on your list. I just can’t see the logic in people buying designer while worrying about how to pay the rent next month.

Ahh! I was never allowed to wear leggings as pants because of my parents, so I tried wearing some last week that I ordered from ebay, and it was a huge mistake. People stared so hard at my body that I had to stop. I just use them in the gym now since they’re stretchy and I like to see my legs when I’m on the elliptical. But I hate seeing really heavy girls wearing leggings as pants. Their legs look like cloth garbage bags full of cottage cheese. Honestly, everyone should stop wearing them so some girls don’t think they have to be silly thin to look equally stupid.

lol, I wear leggings as my bottoms sometimes, but always with a short dress or a tunic. NEVER WILL I PUT MYSELF OUT THERE WITH THE DANGER OF SHOWING PEOPLE MY CAMEL TOE!!! Also, my hips are shaped weirdly and dont look good with cloth clinging to them snugly.

So many girls here wearing colored skinny jeans. It looks nice on girls with really slender legs but seeing that it’s such a fad here, I’ll pass.

I’m guilty of loving Uggs. Well, I USED to love them anyway… that was when I first moved to Seattle from Florida and no other shoes were warm enough for me. But now, I just can’t look at Uggs and love them like I used to. They’re hideous. They’re the kind of boots you’d wear to get the newspaper or the mail in the morning… no one else should see you in them. Same thing goes for Crocs. Birks aren’t fashionable at all but when a person wearing Birks stands up next to someone wearing Crocs, they look like fashionistas.

I only wear velour pants and hoodies when I’m going out for a run or walking to nearby store to pick up some groceries. I don’t think they’re acceptable anywhere else. But I think that compared to leggings worn as pants, wearing velour pants is not that bad of a fashion crime. I don’t understand why you would want to wear something that will give you an instant camel toe. They’re unattractive and uncomfortable so whyyyyyyyyyy?

Most I agree with. Except, I DO think there is a TYPE of skinny for every body type. So skinny they look painted on surely doesn’t look good on most people, but a skinny CUT that still has room around the ankle but no trace of a flare can be flattering. My boyfriend wears appropriately-fitting skinny jeans and it looks great.

Also, I have denim in red, does that count? I love my red skinnies. Dunno if I’d try pink though, so I guess your point is valid. =) UGH I didn’t know Posh could look bad, but those boyfriend jeans are awful.

I hate leggings with a passion…however, I have to admit that I AM a slight fan of skinny jeans with converse (but I rarely do this, like, once a year). I did also really like Ugg boots..I was planning to get a pair earlier. Started going off them a bit. And people that wear those horrid velour suits generally look just plain stupid! I see so many people walking down the road in their pyjamas now, it’s getting ridiculous!

I remember girls who would wear their PJ pants tucked into UGGs in highschool… I think they were trying to start a trend but they just looked dumpy and sad, IMO. Plus their UGGs were sooo dirty and nasty (they were the light colored ones too). :dead:

This post outlines my three major pet peeves; skinny jeans, leggings and uggs.
I used to love skinny jeans but seeing them on everybody most of whom wear them with flats/converse which makes them look short and dumpy has turned me right off them.
The last time I wore leggings, i was 10 and didn’t know better. Now I do and refuse to wear them and don’t even get me started on Uggs. Its a toss up between Uggs and Crocs which one is worse.

my comment died
sorry if this is a repeat
but
agrees on many of these
i think another one i hate is
Oversized sweatshirt / hoody (not necessarily long b/c it doesn’t cover up the ass) x leggings x uggs x TNA bag..

SIGH
university is crawling with these kinds of people =_=
and
ed hardy is fail
ppl are all hypebeasts..

I’m one of YOUR fashion faux-pas because I love my UGGS (**well not tucked inside sweats of course). :|I went through a phase of absolutely HATING them then I finally tried on a pair on a cold winter day a couple years ago and omg my feet were in heaven. LOL. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen to me and Crocs. Ah.
